If I am out shopping and end up in a book shop it is rare that I don't pick up a new book for my son! This is how I came to pick up "Where's my teddy?" from Borders a few years ago. The book I picked up was a book and CD set with a selling price of £6.99 but the same set can be purchased on amazon for £5.36 and includes free super saver delivery. The book is a rather large and tall paperback which only just fits on our bookcase at home. It is written and illustrated by Jez Alborough and was published by Walker books in 1992. The story follows a little boy called Eddy who has lost his teddy in the woods. As he searches the woods feeling ...  Read the complete review

'Where's My Teddy?' is another fantastic Jez Alborough creation. This book is the first in a series of books about Eddy and his teddy and sets the scene for the following two books. The story itself is in rhyme, so providing an upbeat rhythm and pushing you forward through the story with some excitement. The rhythm serves to create enjoyment and brings life to the content, which in itself is fun and entertaining. The rhythm and rhyme also allows the child listening to interact with the story, having heard it only a few times my son was able to complete the endings of lines, he is not yet two. The content of the story is based on a possible real ...  Read the complete review

'Where's my Teddy?' is a book for young children written by Jez Alborough. We recieved this book as a gift when my sons were around 18 months old, and at that young age it quickly became a favourite which is still regularly requested, almost two years on. 'Where's my Teddy?' tells the tale of Eddy, a young boy who has lost his teddy, Freddy, in the woods. As the story opens we see him heading off into the dark horrible woods to look for Freddy, more than a little scared. As he gets deeper into the woods, Eddy is stopped in his tracks by a giant teddy bear- it looks like Freddy, but it is much too big for Eddy to be able to cuddle him. As Eddy ponders this ...  Read the complete review

I am go glad that my daughter seems to adore books, and at nineteen months, I can see her concentration really lengthening when we read stories. She particularly loves rhyming books, and it doesn;t seem to matter how long they are, she will listen contently, and then at the end ask for 'more' which obviously means mummy is to read it again (and again!). Well one rhyming story that my daughter loves, that her daddy or I get asked to read 'more' and 'more' is this lovely book by Jez Alborough 'Where's my teddy?', published by Walker Books. There isn't a huge amount of text in this book, so it will appeal to young children, even younger than my daughter, but ...  Read the complete review

The first in the series of 'Bear' books starts with Bear searching in the woods for his bear. A small boy Eddy has also lost his teddy (who is called Freddy) and is looking for him.The bear thinks he sees his teddy but he is so small surely it can't be ted? Turns out it's Freddy! Eddie is also having the same problem when he discovers his teddy has grown huge! The bear and the boy finally meet but are very scared of each other and run all the way home to a house and a cave(no prizes who's is who's). My two young boys got this book and the sequel as part of a set last christmas and although this is very good I found it not to be quite as good as the sequel(where's my ...  Read the complete review
